Megan McCord, MFA

Megan came to Antioch as an undergraduate student in the Liberal Studies program in 2006 intending only to finish her BA degree. She discovered the concentration in Creative Writing and, after falling in with a wickedly talented cohort of writers in the BA, was encouraged to apply to Antioch’s MFA program. Thinking she would graduate and move on with her life, Antioch then hired her to be a tutor in the Teaching and Learning Center, an adjunct professor in the BA, and a writing teacher in the Bridge Program, dashing all thoughts Megan ever had of a life without Antioch. She is a most willing captive, believing in Antioch’s mission of social justice and education for all. She is known to become breathless with excitement while talking about writing, approaching the teaching of academic writing with the heart of a storyteller.
